Ilu* Ea-tman Timex says: "On Monday
night last four of the negroes confined in our
jail attempted to escape. Owing to the ex
treme hot weather they had not for some
time past been contincd iii the cells at night,
but were allowed to remain in the inner cor
ridor. which is surrounded by* a net-work of
iron. When sheriff Rawlins visited .the jail
Tuesday morning he found that the wash
let in had been torn from it' position, and all
the rock work in that part of the building lv
iiig in a heap upon the floor. After doing
Dus damage the negroes found that the iron
net work impeded further progress, and gave
up the attempt as a futile one. The work of
repairing the damage will cost the county
about S3O. The names oT those who were
impliAntcd in the work are as follows:

Fatal Passion for Gambling His

Correxrtorvlence of the Morning .Vetcx.
NX ashin'gtox, Sept. 22.—Secretary
Chandler said to-day to your correspon
dent that, if it Is possible, he will break
up the practice of hazing at the Naval
Academy. If lie does not wholly eradi
cate that evil, he will certainly do much
good work to that end. Just as soon as
he receives a recommendation from An
napolis that a cadet found guilty of hazing
be dismissed, he looks into the case. His
looking into the case is speedily followed
by an order dismissing the young man
from the service, if guilty. This has been
done frequently, but not as promptly by
preceding Secretaries of the Navy. But
his predecessors have very seldom insisted
on making dismissal for' hazing a final
disposition of the case. The majoritv of
the young men who enter Annapolis'are
from influential families. As soon
as one of them has Iw-en
dismissed in times past
the influence of his family and friends
was set to work to procure his reinstate
ment. It, except in rare cases, was suc
cessful. The young man went back to
Annapolis, and was given some light
punishment. That such was the order
ot things was one of the principal reasons
why hazing lias gone on for years,
despite the strenuous laws enacted to
suppress it. Things are somewhat
changed now. Some of the cadets recently
dismissed from Annapolis for hazing have
tried, by putting the wheels or influence
in motion, to regain tlieir places in the
navy. But they have not been success
ful. Their influence has not amounted to
any more than if they had none. Secre
tary Chandler has refused most emphati
cally to reopen the case of any cadet dis
missed for hazing. He takes the ground
that before being recommended for dismis
sal they all had a fair trial. The verdict
of that trial is final with him. He will
not allow any one to go back to Annapo
lis who has been dismissed for a violation
of such a plain and well-known law as
that against hazing. No amount of in
fluence, he says, either social or political,
can make him change this determination.
The hazing young man must go.
IT IS SURPRISING
what strange things come to the surface
when such a disaster as that of the Pro
teus occurs. The number of people who
have volunteered to go to the relief of
Greely's party this season would almost
till a directory. People who know
no more about the arctic region than they
do about Heaven, are continually asking
the Navy and War Departments to fit out
expeditions, and place them at their
head. All manner of crazy schemes are
detailed on paper and sent with accom
panying maps and notes, which clearly
prove to the satisfaction of the senders
that naught but success can crown an ef
fort based upon them. Many ot those
schemes are trom cranks who are doubt
less in their communities recognized as
such. Others are from men who may
not Ik* regarded as cranks
by any other people except
army and navy officers. This is not all.
Various plans' for arctic vessels are re

THKKK IS SOMK AGITATION
of the charge that there are most scandal
ous doings among naval officers
stationed in China and Japan.
I asked a naval officer to
day, who has served six vears in the
Asiatic station, about these charges. He
said that the story was old, and had been
known in the navy for years. The condi
tion of affairs gradually got worse until
it received a check in the punishments
which followed the loss of the Ashuelot.
“While men who drink to excess will do
so anywhere,” my informant said, “it is
still true that more men on the Asiatic
station take to that habit than in any oth
er section of the glolie visited by our
ships. It would be hard to explain
exactly why this is true. But I can give
you some of the reasons. For instance,
there is not much to do out there; our
vessels are generally iu port; men-of-war
of all other nations are lying about us;
there are visits from ship to ship; there
are dinners on board ship and excursions
ashore: there are dinners given by the
native officials in good fellowship; there is
always heavy drinking on these occasions;
there is something of rivalry between
officers of different navies as to
which can put the others under
the table or ‘sew them up.’ The best of
wines and liquors can be procured very
cheaply out there. Even the Naval cadets
can run a very good wine mess on their
small pay.” I asked the officer how much
ground for complaint he thought there was
about the presence of the officers’ wives
iu China and Japan. He said there was
a great deal. “You sec," he said, “where
a man's wife is there he naturally likes to
be. The result is that our ships are mostly
in port. They are generally found iii
some delightful port. The families of
the married officers who are
on the ship are there too. The principal
cruising that is done, except when a ship
is sent on a special mission by orders
from Washington, consists of short trips
from port to port. The wives of the offi
cers follow the ships. Yes, the scandals
complained of exist. They are both the
offspring mainly of a lack of enough to
keep the officers occupied.”
AN OFFICER OK TIIK AKM V
said to me this evening, while speaking of
Lieutenant Colonel llges, who lias been
found guilty ol duplicatinghis pay account,
and who, doubtless, will be dismissed
the service: “I know llges well. He is a
brave officer and courteous gentleman.
Unfortunately be has a passion for gam
bling, which apparently lie cannot over
come. ne will gamble every time lie gets
a chance. Once in San Francisco he bor
rowed S.IOO lrom a brother officer and went
across the street to a faro bank.
Before be cmae out lie had
more than $1,200. He went
back to the game shortly afterwards and
lost every cent. He then wanted to bor
row ssoomore from his friend, hut the lat
ter said he was unable to lend it. There
has been a coolness between them ever
since. While llges was at Salt Lake City
he became engaged in a quarrel with
another officer over some trifling affair,
and challenged him to fight a duel. Sec
onds were chosen and all the arrange
ments made. Both men were on the
ground. The distance was walked off
and the pistols loaded. Iglos’ second
went up to him and said: -‘Old
fellow, this is a pretty serious business,
and there will probably be a death or two
reported: and all the living be dishonor
ably discharged from the army. Top are
both brave men and have proved it a hun
dred times on fields more honorable than
this. Let’s settle the affair amicably.
These sensible remarks had their proper
effect. The two principals shook hands
and agreed to forget their cause ol differ
ence. llges was once engaged to a beau
tiful German girl of high social posi
tion and very wealthy. The mar
riage day was set. llges obtained
leave of absence, three months' pay in
advance, and borrowed SBOO more. He
fully intended to go to Germany-and wed
bis affianced bride. But the passion rot
gambling took possession of him. He—
well he didn’t go to Germany, but tele
graphed that the marriage would have to
Ira postponed. Then there was a rumpus
in the German camp. The upshot was
the breaking off of the engagement. Poor
llges, 1 pity him. A splendid fellow and
as brave an officer as ever flashed a sword.
But he could not let gambling alone.”

■ The Daughter of a Pittsburg Million
j aire Marries a Glass-Cutter.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 22.—A romantic
j elopement occurred last night on the
| south side, which culminated in mar-
J riage this morning. The young man in
f the case is a glass-cutter named Fisher,
i The young lady is the daughter of John
; Phillips, of the well-known iron firm of
j Oliver Brothers *X Phillips. The young
people had been keeping company for
some time without the knowledge of tne
lady’s parents. A day or two ago the
secret leaked out, and there was a scene
at the Phillips mansion. The stern
parents forbade their daughter having
anything more to do with the glass-cutter,
and compelled her to promise to give him
up. But this Miss Phillips had no inten- •
tion of doing.
She at once set about removing her
wardrobe piecemeal to her sister’s house,
a short distance in the country. This ac
complished, she notified her lover slit; was
ready to fly with him to the ends of the
earth.
About to o'clock last night Fisher call
ed at the Phillips residence in a carriage,
halting in the rear of the house. The girl
was ready, and so was her mother. When
the latter went to ttie front door, the
daughter ran out of the back door and
thence across a potato-field, followed by
the old lady. Youth and beauty won the
race. The young lady reached' the car
riage considerably in advance of her pur
suer, and, being helped in by her lover,
the vehicle rattled away in the darkness.
Pursuit was made, but the runaways
succeeded in evading capture, aud this
morning they were joined in the holy
bonds of wedlock. The end will be “ God
bless you, my children,” as nothing can
tic alleged against Mr. Fisher except that
he is not a millionaire. The young cou
ple will spend the honeymoon traveling in
the West.

ANOTHER VERSION.
Northeastern Georgia Railroad Matters.
IIIRSONIA, near Davisboro, Ga.,
Sept. ll*. —Editor Morning News: There
appeared in the Weekly News of the
loth ait article apparently from a regular
correspondent at Gibson, Ga., headed
•‘Glasscock County Notes—An Unsuc
cessful Railroad Meeting,” etc., signed
“M. E. C.”
I was surprised to see the article.
The writer must have lraen misled
with respect to the railroad meeting,
for he shows that he knew very little
about the subscription lists and other
matters pertaining to the projected road
tti Stellavillc and Sandersville. The
writer has :i large amount subscribed on
his list and others are making favorable
reports of subscriptions. At the meeting
to which M. E. C'. referred, Hon. Jas. K.
Hines delivered an eloquent address in
favolr of the undertaking. Speeches were
also made by Cols. S. T. Jordan
T. C. Wicker, B. A. Lane and
others. The remarks of Colonel Lane were
favorable to the Gibson route. But. the
people of Hudsonia, Washington county,
do not propose to remain idle or silent.
The people of the Stapleton Academy sec
tion of Jefferson county, are also taking
active steps in behalf of the new road,
and there i6 a probability that the line,
after reaching Stellaville, will be run
direct to Sandersville through one of the
most productive sections of the State, and
leave Gibson some six or eight miles to
the right, with a branch road to be con
structed to Gibson. Very respectfully,
Harden Brown.

PAPERS FOR A PITTANCE.
PROBABLE EFFECTS OF THE
NEW YORK TIMES' CUT.
The “Sun” to Divulge Its Kays for a
Cent—The” Herald” for Two Cents--The
“Tribune” Left-Clarkson Potter's F’or
tune— A Harlem Miser—VHlard’s Dudes
Robbed.
Correspondence of the Morning Mercs.
New York, Sept. 21.—When the news
boys went through the streets Tuesdav
morning calling out, ’’limes, two cents."
people thought the little fellows, having
been “stuck,” that is, having purchased
more copies of that paper than they could
sell, were trying to dispose of their stock
at half price. Those who made the re
quired investment of course discovered
that it was the newspaper and not the
newsboys that had reduced the rates.
The reduction is the talk of the town, and
conjecture is rife as to the reasons for it.
One view is that the Times is not paying
property, and that it was forced to make
the reduction in order to increase its cir
culation. Asa matter of fsit, the Times
was never more prosperous, and never
had a larger circulation, except during
election time, than now. Another theory
is that the new departure is for a politi
cal purpose. There may be some founda
tion for this view, for men connected with
the paper, who, however, are not perhaps
in Mr. Jones’ confidence, say that the
Timex is to be the organ of anew party,
and that its reduction in price is for the
purpose of enabling it to preach its doc
trines among those who can afford to pay
but two cents for their newspaper. The
remarks ot the Times yesterday, apropos
of llieir reduction, confirm this'view.
What effect will the Times’ new de
parture have on its New York rivals is a
question which has been asked many
thousand of times the past forty-eight
hours, and to which the replies have been
various. The fact that the Tribune yester
day lowered its price from four cents to
three is considered by a large number a
proof that the example of the Times will
in time be followed by every paper in the
city, whatever its present price, and that
there will be a reduction all along the
line. The Herald is expected to lower
its price to two cents as soon
as Mr. Bennett can be personally
communicated with, and some say it may
even sell for a penny! This last is not
unlikely, if the story told concerning its
reduction from four cents to three, half a
dozen years ago, is true. Mr. B. is said
to have ordered the reduction bv tele
graph from the Union Club, where'he had
been drinking a great deal too much cham
pagne. He forgot the order almost as
soon as he sent it, and, when he read the
announcement of the change of price in
the Herald the next morning, lie rushed
down to the office for the purpose of de
capitating somebody. On being shown
his telegraphic order he retired front the
field convinced as well as silenced.
That the Sun will before long shine for
all for one cent is confidently expected by
many, but it must be taken into consider
ation that thousands of people think life
is too short to allow the reading of an
eight page paper every day. Already a
large proportion of the Sun’s subscribers
read it not because it is cheap, but be
cause they find in it all the news in con
densed form, and such will continue to
read it in preference to the Times , not
withstanding that the price is now the
same.
SHOULD THE “SUN” HALVE ITS ‘PRICE,
and should the other journals reduce their
price in proportion, the effect on salaries
will be unfortunate for the employes. In
this light the step taken by the Times on
Tuesday was a personal misfortune to
almost every reporter and newspaper
writer in New York. For reduced receipts
means reduced salaries, and, if the reduc
tion is general, the employes will be
obliged to submit to it, as nothing can be
gained bv changing their employer. The
Tribune , however, -is an exception, and
will not reduce the salaries of its employes
whatever happens, for the reason, as one
of them said yesterday, they are as low
as they can go already. The paper in
question is like the economical man, who,
by a course of systematic reduction of his
horse’s food, got the poor beast down to a
straw a day, and would have caused him
to live on less had not the animal died.
The cheapening of the Times is a terri
ble blow to the I'rtbune, and the half-wav
measure which is intended to parry it is
considered to be more a confession of
weakness than an attempt at self-defense.
No man in his senses certainly will pay
three cents for the Tribune when he can
get a Times for two, if he wants to get
the worth of his money. The Tribune
should have reduced its price to two cents
or made no reduction at all; relying, in
the latter event, on its clientage of hide
bound partisans, to whom money is no
object, and who prefer a political organ
to a newspaper. The Tribune's reduction
to three cents, hv the way, was not de
cided upon, it is said, until midnight yes
terday, which accounts for the awkward
ness of its announcement to that effect.
The Republican Convention yesterday
put in the field a ticket which will surely
be beaten unless the Democrats commit
political suicide by quarreling among
themselves. Owing to its being an off
year, however, even if they are “harmo
nious,” but a comparatively small frac
tion of Governor Cleveland’s unprece
dented majority can be realized. Arthur,
too, will make every effort to redeem the
State, as his nomination next year depends
upon it. Had his friends managed more
wisely, he might hope for success with
good reason.
, it is becoming evident
that Clarkson N. Potter died far less
wealthy than he was considered to be.
His family have been obliged, in addition
to giving up their horses, to rent lus house
in Gramercy Park, and retire to his country
house in New Rochelle. J'lie additional
income they will thus receive, however,
is the handsome sum ol sG,o<ni a year.
1 was told a number of characteristic
stories the other day about a Harlem
miser, who, is reported to have an income
of nearly half a million of dollars a year.
He is a “forty-nine’er.” and half of this
amount comes from the rent of property
in San Francisco, which he bought for
almost nothing, before California became
a State. When he was in San Francisco
his only son died, and lie is said to have
transported the body to this city for bur
ial in a keg of whisky, which he after
wards sold to the keeper of a popular bar
room! According to another story, he
employs his single servant in turning in
side out and making over the envelopes
of the letters he receives, which lie is thus
aide to use a second time. For fear that
the poor slavey may take advantage of his
being a widower, he has hung a sign in
his hall bearing the legend:
* *
The house-keeper is not my wife, hut a
:hired servant.
He dresses worse than the average
tramp, and his scare-crow figure is often
seen wandering around Harlem, and pull
ing ancient nails out of old boards and
fences. These he straightens, with the aid
of his housekeeper, and, when he has col
lected a sufficient quantity, he sells them.
His single extravagance in a life of nearly
three score years and ten, was the pur
chase at the Centennial Exposition, of
Washington’s coach of state. He per
mitted it to remain in the permanent ex
hibition until last spring, when he had it
forwarded to him by rail. To the heavy
vehicle, which was built to be drawn by
four horses, he harnessed a single
broken-down steed that, with much
urging, began painfully to u rag
it from the Jersey City ferry to
Harlem. Fortunately, at Twenty-second
street and Fourth avenue, one of Bergh’s
agents saw the toiling and over-laden
beast, and put a stop to the further pro
gress of the coach of state until a second
horse had been btought to its aid. since
being put to this additional expense by
the S. F . T. P. O. C. T. A., our miserly
friend never mentions Mr. Bergh’s name
but with curses. This possessor of half
a million a year who, living on next to
nothing, is every year richer by nearly
his entire income, is not known to have a
single relative to whom he may bequeath
the wealth which be has spent a lifetime
in accumulating, and which he must
leave behind before long.

The Cost of Production.
Mid\ ille. Ga., Sept. 20. Editor Morn
imj Secs-. In a communication to the
News of September 19, signed “Naval
Stores, upon turpentine and rosin, the
writer, after mentioning the decline in
prices for spirits and rosin, and the in
crease of wages, goes on to enumerate the
cost of cutting and working a crop of 10,-
000 trees. His estimate is correct except
as to the rent paid for timber: in this sec
tion instead of paying SOO we pay SIOO for
a crop ol 10,000 boxes, which, added to the
estimate made by “Naval Stores," will
increase the total cost of working the crop
trout SS33 50 to $873 50, leaving a net profit
ol only S2O 50 for a virgin crop of 10,000

now paid to their laberers. l-et every

us regulate the wages of our employes
according to our dividends, and when
this is done, if every firm will abide by

the producer will receive a fair dividend,

A Story of Chainbord.
better in Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
\\ hen I wrote last week respecting the
Count de Chambord and liisdoings, I little
thought that Paris still contained an in
teresting and curious relic of his purposed
kingship, or rather a group of relics, in
the shape of the royal carriages ordered
for the triumphal entry of the King into
Paris. Twelve of these vehicles were or
dered, but only six of them were finished
w’hea the refusal of the Prince to accept
the tricolored flag put an extinguisher on
the hopes ot his adherents. These six
magnificent carriages have ever since
been stored awaiting the hour of the res
toration of the monarchy. The whole
half-dozen were executed in six weeks,
so great was the hurry of the Kovalists
and so certain was the advent of the King
considered. The largest and handsomest,
that intended for Henry V. himself, is of
great size and magnificence. The four
lanterns alone cost $7,000. It is lined
throughout with white satin, and the arms
of France tire emblazoned on the ceiling
in the centre of a golden sun. The seven
large windows of plate-glass render the
interior almost as visible as is that of an
open carriage. All the metal work is in
repousse silver, and the hammer cloth is
fringed with gold. The panels are painted
with the fleur-de-lis on a black ground,
and are highly varnished. Access
is obtained to this truly royal
vehicle by a series of four steps covered
with pale blue velvet, worked with fleurs
de-lis in gold thread. The other carriages
are upholstered with pale blue satin fig
ured with fleur-de-lis in the same color.
These six carriages cost $200,000. They
were ordered by the Count de Dainas, who
still pays the annual hill for their storage.
They were to have been paid for by a
eoinmittee of enthusiastic Legitimist
noblemen; but on the final dispersion of
all hopes of a restoration the Count de
Chambord very generously insisted on
settling the bill himself. I' wonder what
ever became of the eight snow-white
steeds that were to have drawn the royal
carriage? They were purchased, and
were being trained to assume the
high-stepping solemn gait appropriate to
horses that have so important a mission
to perform, when the final catastrophe
came that swept the embryo royalty into
the dust. I remembered hearing about
the controversy that took place between
two highly born Legitimists who were
charged with the purchase respecting the
color ot the animals. Eight periectly
matched and very superb horses of a pale
cream color, with silken, silvery tails and
manes, were offered. Nobleman No. 1
preferred the cream-colored horses, while
No. 2 would hear of nothing but white
ones. Finally the dispute was settled bv
a third party. “Good heavens,
gentlemen,” he exclaimed, “if you
select cream-colored horses to
draw the King’s carriage, every
street boy in Paris sti seeing it approach
will cty, “Here comes the Hippodrome!”
and so the white ones were chosen.
Where are they now? Some years ago
the carriage of a certain fair and fast
Paristenne was pointed out to me as
being drawn by two of these favored ani
mals. Certainly l never saw such beauti
ful white horses in my life. They are
white as snow, without a single hair or
shading of another color in their perfectly
groomed coats, their nostrils being tinged
with a pale pink and their full flowing
manes and tails shining like floss silk. It
they were not the chosen steeds of rovalty
they certainly looked like it.
Chief .Justice Taney anil the Drel Scott
Case. •
Two letters iu the October Century are
interesting as showing that Chief Justice
Taney has been misunderstood in relation
to his decision in the Dred Scott case.
One of the letters says in part: “The
Chief Justice merely asserted a fact, and
did not decide that the negro ‘had no
rights that a white man was bound to re
spect.’ Judge Taney never held such an
opinion, and it is an insult to bis memory
to make such an assertion.
“Allow me to state some facts relative
to Judge Taney’s feelings towards the col
ored race. Some thirty years before his
death he freed his slaves. This proves
that he was no lover of slavery. On one
occasion, speaking of the colored people,
with much emphasis, he said: ‘Thank
God that at least in one place all men are
equal—in the church of God. Ido not
consider it any degradation to kneel side hr
side with a negro in the house of our
Heavenly Father.’ On another occasion,
speaking of the Dred Scolt decis
ion, he remarked that *no mat
ter what might be his feelings in
regard to this question of slavery,
his oath bound him to interpret the law
under the Constitution.’ This was his
higher law—the oath he had taken when

BEAUTIFUL HOMES GIVEN THE
HOMELESS.
Hon* the “Church Home of Macon” was
Founded and Fostered Orphans of
Confederate Soldiers Its Care—The
“South Georgia Conference Orphans’
Home” and Its Great Work.
Correspondence of the Morning Mews.
Macon, Sept. 19.— Our sympathies are
the avenues to our hearts, through
nitich our better natures are appealed
to and aroused to action. There is
nothing which awakens our sym
pathies more readily than helpless child
hood. All history and observation demon
strate that all charitable institutions are
the outgrowth of human sympathy, and
not untrequently the thought which de
velopes into action and effort is pain in
the midst of great misfortune. Such is
the history of the
“ cut RCH H< iMK ok m acon.”
War and desolation had done their
worst. W e were a prostrate peeple, ruled
by the merciless hand of uiilitarv dis
cipline. and many of the purest and best
were dejected and weeping over the “Lost
Cause.” In the spring of 1865 there were
hundreds of orphans in this community,
whose natural protectors had fallen upon
the battlefield iu defense of our homes,
and the returning heroes who had stood
unflinchingly in the face of the deadly
can nott and amid the showers of shot and
shell, found a more relentless enemy at
home—want, gaunt and grim, stood in
their doorways, and helpless wives and
lit tle ones appealed for bread.
The public authorities did what they
could. They established a soup house
and a bread depot on Cherry street, where
those who were unable to procure the ne
cessities of life were supplied with scanty
rations. The Inferior Court of that day |
will always he gratefully remembered. !
It consisted of the following gentlemen: j
Judges O. G. Sparks, ,1. T. Nesbitt. Win.
Riley, and J. Calhoun. They were heart
ily seconded in their noble work by Hon.
Stephen Collins, Mayor of the city. While
these gentlemen were doing what they
could to appease hunger and relieve bod
ily wants, two generous hearted gentle
men decided to provide some
thing lor the mental improvement
lor the destitute orphans of Confederate
soldiers. Messrs. J. H. Anderson and J.
W. F'ears, both now of Atlanta, after con
sidering the matter fully to open a school
in a room on Magnolia street, where now
the residence ol the late Professor Whitney
stands. Quite a number of children were
gathered together, and in October, 1865,
the school opened with Mrs. Hughes as
preceptor. Under her energetic superin
tendence the school prospered wonder
fully. It was sustained by public contri
butions, sometimes coming from the most
unexpected sources. As the necessities
of the day arose there always were means
to meet the demand. They needed more
school furniture, and while t iey were de
liberating about it, Mr. R. W. Cubbedge
purchased the residence ot Prof. S. Bates
on College street, and in that purchase
was the school furniture of the Bates
Academy. Mr. Cufiliedge promptly sent
it to the Church Home, and this great
want was supplied, and in a way no one
had ever dreamed.
IN THE WINTER OF 1865-6
it became evident that more room was
required for the proper development of
this great charity. Thus far the number
accommodated was comparatively few,
and especially in the home feature of it.
Providence, whose watchful eye is ever
over the interests of helpless orphanage,
brought light out of darkness to this be
nevolent institution, and in a most sin
gular way.
Many of the citizens of Macon
remember wiih sadness the fearful
epidemic of small-pox which visited
the city in 1865. The city authorities
provided a hospital or pest-house, where
all the small-pox patients were taken
care of. It was under the direction of
Dr. A. P. Collins. Bibb county, instead
of establishing one of their own, sent all
the county small-pox patients to the city
hospital. After the scourge had passed
away the city presented a claim for the
medical treatment ot patients, amounting
to $4,500. The Inferior Court declined to
pay the bill, deeming it excessive. In
1806 a compromise was effected, just as
the “Church Home” was pleading for
more commodious quarters, and upon the
specified conditions that the amount paid
was to be invested for the benefit of the
Orphans’ Home. Immediately a board
ot trustees was selected, consisting
of G. S. Obear, A. L. Maxwell, 11. L. Jew
ett, John. T. Boifeuillet and James T.
Nesbitt. A charter was obtained trom the
•Superior Court of Bibb county, for the
8188 COUNTY ORPHANS’ HOME,
by which the institution was hereafter to
be known.
After due consultation and investiga
tion, a tract of land containing ninety
four acres and a good ten-room house,
just two miles front the court house, and
just beyond Vineville, was secured. It
was purchased from Prof. E. li. Link for
the sum of $5,000, Air. Link taking the
county script referred to as part pay
ment, the remainder of the purchase
money being raised by festivals and
musical entertainment's. The school
was moved to this point early
in 1866, with Airs. Hughes in
charge, who was ably seconded hy the
Board of Trustees, who exerted them
selves to enlarge the number of scholars,
and to give it a wider scope for usefulness.
In the spring of 1867 the cares of the in
stitution had grown so large, that Airs.
Hughes was compelled to ask for more
help. Her time was needed almost entire
ly for the comfort of the children in the
domestic department. The board reliev
ed her from the school room, and elected
as teacher Miss Flora A. Smith, the
daughter of the gallant Col. George A.
Smith, who fell at the head of the First
Georgia Regiment during the war. She
remained during that year, giving
the utmost satisfaction. ' Her retire
ment was deeply regretted hy the board.
In 1869 Airs. Hughes was superseded in
the management of the Home by Airs.
Alary Gillen, of East Alacon, who con
tinued to preside over its fortunes until
1873, when the Home was turned over to
the South Georgia Conference of the AI.
E. Church, South.
This school, like all other institutions
supported by voluntary contributions,
had its ebbs and flows—its days of de
pression and gloom as well as its seasons
of prosperity. Public opinion is fickle,
and will not always do to depend upon,
and public sympathy soon expends
itself, leaving its highest ideals shorn of
their glory, forsaken and alone.
The object of the school thus far was
confined to the education and care ot the
orphans of Confederate soldiers. A large
number were received into this institu
tion; some of them staying but a short
time, others remaining longer, and re
ceived substantial benefits. The Board
of Trustees exerted every effort to keep
the interest alive in the public mind, and
much praise is due to all the members,
and especially to President Alaxwell and
Judge J. T. Nesbitt, who uever relaxed
their energies in behalf of the Home.
Among the many friends of the
Home, was Air. George R. Barker,
the grocer, who became the com
missary of the institution, and con
tinued the supplies even when there was
no money in the Treasury. There were
others whose generosity abounded towards
this noble charity, and" none among them
were more liberal than the late lamented
George Payne, Esq,, the well known drug
gist.
The records of the institution for the
last two or three years are not within my
reach, and I have depended on personal
information, gathered from various
sources, and may not be able to do justice
to many whose names ought to be recorded
here.
SOUTH GKO KOI A CONFERENCE ORPHANS’
HOMK, XKAH MACON, OA.
“Home, Sweet Home,” is the embodi
ment of all that is tender, affectionate
and good. “Homeless” embraces all that
is dark, dreary and discouraging. To se
cure a home for the homeless was the
thought that awakened to action the ven
erable Ir. Jesse Boring, of the Xorfh
Georgia Conference in the year 18®,
and prompted a series ol" articles
which crystallized at last into a
project to establish an orphan's
home for the helpless and destitute. It
was not to oe an asylum merely, but a
home in all of its attractiveness and sur
roundings—a permanent abode, where
these helpless waifs could enjoy that af
fectionate and parental regard which
they had lost through the ravages of
death.
It was to be opened only to real or
phans, who had neither father or mother
to care for them, and when once within
its portals it would be a home to them for
all future time.
At the session of the General Conference
of the 31. E. Church South, held at Mem
phis, Tenn., Dr. Boring presented this
subject, and received the hearty approval
of that body. On his return to Georgia,
he organized a “Home” at Norcross, un
der the auspices of the North Georgia,
Conference, with htmself in the field as
agent.
In the South Georgia Conference, which
embraces all the southern part of the
Jute, there were many sympathizers with
w ,k ori J 1 ?. 8 Bjeaof an “Orphan’s Home.”
At the following annual session of the
Conference, held at Fort Yallev, in De
cember, ik* o , the question was discussed,
and the tollowtng Board of Trustees ap
pointed: E. H. Alters, 8. Anthonv, G. G.
V MacDoneil, J. S. Key, R. B. Lester, .1
E. Evans, Dr. H. Wimberly. Dr. NV H
Hollinshead, J. NY. Jordan, H. L. Jewett!
J. " • Cheatham and N. D. Guerry.
The action of the conference was verv
cautious, and was embodied in the follotv
tng language:
“ Resolved , That it is desirable we should
have an Orphans’ Home within the bounds
ot this conference as soon as practical.”
The year following developed consider
able opposition to the practicability of
such an institution at that time. Never
theless, Rev. Samuel Anthonv, of blessed
memory, was put in the field as agent. In
response to li is fervent appeals—for he •
could plead as hut few men could—in be
half of the orphans, a large list of con- 1
trihutions was secured.
lhe conference action of 1871, at the ses
sions held in Columbus, was that the
establishment an Orphans’ Home
was desirable during the ensuina year, and
Drs. J. S. Key, W. NV. Hicks aiid H. L.
Jewett were authorized to procure a
charter and prepare bv-laws to be sub
mitted to a meeting of the Board of Trus
tees in February, 1872. The meeting was
practically a failure. A number of prom
! incut members of the conference were op
j posed, to the estabishment of such an in-
I stitution by the Church, they doubting its
practicability and supposed it doomed to
utter failure. At the session held at
i Thomasville in December, 1872, there was
* quite an animated discussion upon the
merits of the question, and the Board of
Trustees seems to have lieen discontinued,
and in lieu thereof the following commis
sion appointed: Geo. C. Clarke, A. AI.
Wynn, J. W. Burke, J. W. Jordan and
James Jackson.
in December, 1873, at the annual ses
sion of the conference, held in Alacon,
the commission made the following re
port: “At a meeting lield in Alacon, they
( the commission) had a free and full con
ference with several gentlemen, citizens
of Alacon, and received from them the
tender of the following property for an
Orphans’ Home, to wit : ninety-four acres
’of land situated about two miles from the
city, with a good house containing ten
rooms; also, several smaller outbuild
ings. There are 26 acres under fence,
with a fine orchard of fruit trees
and vineyard oi choice grapes; aline,
never-failing spring of water, with
bathing and washing houses. Several
head of cattle, one mule, all the farm fix
tures, furniture, tools, wagons, etc. The
only condition required was that we
should never divert the property trom an
orphan’s home or remove it from the
county of Bibb. We accepted the prop
erty with the conditions stated, and ap
plied for a charter according to law,
which has been granted and recorded.”
This was the property ot the old Bibb
County Orphans’ Home, whose history is
given above, and thus the South Georgia
Conference Orphans’ Home started out
under most favorable auspices on the first
of January, 1874. Rev. Samuel Anthony
was continued as agent, and, encouraged
with his signal triumph over all
difficulties, he entered upon the year’s
labor full of hope -and most
sanguine expectations. His subscrip
tion list was greatly enlarged, but alas!
promises to pay are not money, nor did it
suffice to appease the hunger of orphans.
There were eleven orphans when the
home was transferred, and they were or
phans indeed, having neither father nor
mother. The Home was established upon
Dr. Boring’s idea that it was to be a per
manent home for the children.
AT THE SESSION OF CONFERENCE,
held iu Savannah. December, 1874, the
agent reported collections amounting to
$6,000. Quite a portion of this was ex
pended in repairs. The property was es
timated at $8,850. Air. D. Erwin was
placed in charge as Steward.
l’rof. NV. D. NVilliams, Secretary of the
Board, writes:
“ Now, when we consider the times, and
that we commenced without a cent and
under discouragements, and see what we
have done and how much we have in the
Home and how many helpless aud needy
boys and girls we are sheltering and rear
ing, we hope, to be useful and happy, we
are ready to say, ‘See what God has
wrought! it is wonderful, and to His holy
name he the praise!’ Your agent sees no
decline in the sympathies of the public
heart in behalf of the Home. Alany have
not paid their subscriptions, but they say
they will, and even do more. As you
know, I lost a long time from the work
from sickness, but God raised me almost
from death to preach, pray, travel and
visit olten and much, and to many thou
sands of people over the land.”
This was the first year’s operations,
and shows wonderful development, even
in the face of expressed doubt from many
of the prominent men of the Church.
There were at this time twenty-two chil
dren at the Home, all orphans indeed.
The next session of conference was
held in Americas December 15, 1875. The
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Rev.
A. AI. NVynn, made an elaborate report.
The number of children had only
been increased Jo twenty-five, but the
expenses had greatly increased. Airs.
S. D. Matthews had been employed to
teach the children. This was a trving
year to the agent. Although one of the
purest and best men, and one of the most
successful canvassers, he was not gifted
as a financier. Although he had sub
scribed on his books $18,624, at the end of
the year he found the Home SI,BOO in debt.
His industry and zeal abounded more
and more that year, and if those who
ought to have felt and manifested an in
terest in this noble charity had co-oper
ated with him no such showing would
have been made. The agent, who was
advanced in age, and was growing more
feeble from the effects of wounds recently
received, retired from the field, and front
a work in which his whole soul was en
gaged. and gave place to a younger man,
Rev. L. B. Payne, who was appointed
agent at this session of the conference,
with Rev. J. B. NVardlaw as Superintend
ent.
The trustees saw that a change had to
be made in the objects of the Home. The
North Georgia Conference Home had de
monstrated the fact that making the in
stitution a permanent home for 'the chil
dren was becoming too burdensome.
'Those who had arrived at an age when
they were amply able to earn their own
living were not inclined to go out from
the Home, but remained and were
an unnecessary expense. The Board
of Trustees, therefore, resolved
to change this programme, and
the doors were thrown oi>en to orphans
of every class, and the agent -was in
structed to find suitable homes for the
children in the families of the land, the
Home retaining the oversight and the
right to take back their wards should
they be abused, or the contracts under
which they were let out be violated.
They received children who had one pa
rent living, but the parent was compelled
to surrender all right to the child. Its fu
ture, henceforth, was vested in the Home.
The doors were also open to children who
were able to pay their board, which was
placed at a nominal price: also to a num
ber who were able to pay a part onlv, the
other being supplied by the Home.
The boarding orphans, of course, were
not liable to be sent out from the Home,
but subjected to all other regulations of
the institution.
These changes was a stroke of wise
policy upon the part of the board. It re
moved the objections which many had
expressed to the enterprise, and opened
the way for many destitute
with one parent, who was unable either
by sickness or idleness to support them,
to secure the benefits of the Home. Be
coming a distributing depot, it enabled
the agent—while gathering in those who
needed the fostering care of the Home—
at the same time to secure good homes
for these homeless ones in the households
of the land. Thus the Home not only be
comes a blessing to the homeless children,
but also brings sunshine and happiness
into many childless homes. These children
may be found all over Georgia, and all
doing well. Not a single one has ever
disgraced the institution since they have
come under its supervision.
The elevating and refining influence of
Mrs. J. B. Ward law. the matron, was very
marked upon the children. They were
more neatly and tidily dressed, their con
duct had greatly improved under her man
agement, and t he Home had a more cheer
ful and attractive appearance.
The year was a prosperous one. The
agent, by iersistent effort, was enabled to
pay off the entire indebtedness, support
the Home handsomely, and had a small
surplus to commence operations next year
upon. The indebtedness was chiefly for
provisions obtained at the store of 3lr.
Geo. K. Barker, who was the substantial
friend of the old Bibb Countv Home. His
generous nature led him to become a bene
factor also of the new Home, and none re
joices more than he at the signal success
of the institution, although a member of a
different denomination.
t PRICF *lO A TEAK. 1
I S CENTS A COPT. (
At the session of conference held at
Sandersville. December, WTti, the
board reported among other things the
following:
“The agent has raised in cash during
the year $3,700, alsoaconsideraDle amount
of supplies, the estimated amount ot
which, together with donations sent direct
to the Home from different friends and
churches, and the amount contributed by
the wonderfully successful efforts of the
Ladies' Auxiliary Orphans’ Home of Ma
con, amount to an aggregate of about
so,ooo. In addition to this he has ob
tained subscriptions, which were to have
been paid during the year, of about $2,000,
most of which might have been brought
up to conference with anything like a rea
sonable effort on the part of pastors where
these subscriptions were obtained, and
which we think will yet be paid for the
most part.
"There have been twenty-eight children
under the care of the institution during
the year. Light of these, have been
provided with good, religious’home in dit
ferent families within our bounds. The
utmost discretion, carefulness and judg
ment have been exercised in this part of
our delicate work, and we believe the best
interests of the ehildreu have been served
in all those cases. Sixteen now remain in
the Home.”
At this session the office of Superin
tendent and that of agent were consoli
dated and Rev. L. 15. Payne was elected
to fill it. It would be impossible to com
pute the value and benefits growing out
of bis arduous labors during the years
that followed. Traveling and preaching
at every available point within the
bounds of the conference ujion Christian
benevolence, be lias widened the stream
of Christian sympathy, and the hearts of
thousands have been enlisted in behalf of
the orphan that heretofore have remained
unmoved. Hundred of homes have been
opened to receive these helpless ones, and
not a lew of these children have been
adopted legally by sonic of the best fami
lies in the State.
From January, 1577, the Home lias l>een
under the immediate oharge of Rev. L. B.
Payne and his excellent wife. Their man
agement has been most well and success
ful. The discipline at the Home is
firm, and at the same time affectionate.
An effort is made to bring out all the ex
cellent qualities of the children, by ap
pealing to their honor and pride of charac
ter, and to repress, and. so far as possible,
to eradicate the evil tendencies of their na
tures. A most remarkable case is now
apparent. A little waif was thrown upon
the streets of Macon by the name of An
nie Boss, when not more than 4 or 5 years
of age, and for several years became a
noted arab. begging, stealing and annoy
ing everybody with whom she came in
contact, she was the most depraved
child, and the most foul-mouthed, ever
known ou the streets. No one could do
anything with her. She is about 10 years
old now. Last year she was induced to
enter the Orphans’ Home.
The writer, during a recent visit, saw
this child, but could hardly recognize the
street arab of other days. So completely
changed in appearance and in actions,
that no one, unless told, could sec any
likeness to the miserable little waif that
haunted the streets of Macon for years
past. The Christian matron told us that
she had been subdued more by kindness
than by harsh means; that she was now
bidable and was learning rapidly. Her
neat, tidy appearance contrasted strange
ly with her former rags and filth.
The whole management is moral in
tone, and, while the children are taught
manners and music, and all the
branches of an English education,
their moral natures are impressed with
a knowledge of God and a loving Saviour,
and an everlasting inheritance for those
who prepare themselves to enjoy it.
During the administration of ltev. Mr.
Payne, 350 helpless orphans have been
cared for. The in rijority of them have been
snpplid with homes among some of the
best people in the land. There are at the
present time about fifty inmates at the
Home.
There is a school kept from S a. m. to 4
}>. m. The boys, in the morning and even
ing, before and after school, work the
farm, which produces more than enough
of vegetables to supply the Home, the
surplus being sent to the Macon market.
There is an orchard of 1,400 fruit trees,
all of which is kept in trim by the boys,
under the direction ot the Superintendent.
All the domestic work is done by the
larger girls under the care of Mrs. Col
lins, the assistant matron". These girls
also cut out and make up all the clothing
of the inmates of the Home. They are regu
larly instructed in needle work and all
household duties.
During the last year the Superinten
dent has added two wings to the building,
to meet the constantly increasing demand
for room. These wings are about 30x40,
two stories high, furnishing some admira
ble room. Anew veranda was added
to the old building. The value
of repairs last year are estimated to be
something over $2,000, and what is better,
all are paid tor. It is the policy of the
agent not to run in debt for anything.
The health of the Home is proverbial.
During the eight or nine years past only
one child has died,, its disease being he
reditary. There has scarcely been a
serious case of sickness during the whole
administration oi Mr. l’avne.
As to the future of the Home,
great expectations are indulged in
by its many friends, and they
have great reasons to do so. If all the
members of this great denomination were
to give their hearty and earnest support,
confidence and help to the indefatigable
agent the Home would be an honor to this
Church, and a benefaction to hundreds of
lielpless, homeless orphans over this land.
The agent is making a strenuous effort
to secure an endowment for this noble
charity, and has measurably succeeded.
He lias already SB,OOO pledged, but the
amount must bo raised to $30,000 before it
can be made available. When this is ac
complished the agent has another im
provement in contemplation, that of
securing shops and tools in
order to learn the boy useful trades and
prepare them for useful lives. At a
moderate outlay the machinery for car
penter and blacksmith shops, and broom
and mattress making establishments can
be secured. And this suggestion is worthy
of consideration by the friends of the in
stitution, and an effort ought to be made
at an early day to bring about these
needed improvements. 8. S. Swket.
